How do you forgive the unforgivable?
A question that has been asked for years
Especially when it pertains to you
And you’re broken, wounded, and in tears
And how do you handle the anger
That rises up and it seeks revenge?
When an atrocity against you is committed
And your self-control is on edge
Payback usually comes to you first
Getting even often rears its ugly head
You start thinking ominous thoughts
Such as “Wishing they were dead?
You want to go on the offensive
Hurt back as bad as you were hurt
To make the offender your target
And from your mouth curses blurt
The Bible says to turn the other cheek
For your enemies, you are to pray
Forgive them of their sins, trespasses
And let God judge them one day
It is something easier said than done
It takes willpower far beyond belief
But if you allow God to take control
He will heal your heartache and grief
